View Poll Results: If your local dealer had a larger and/or better selection of PRS products

You know I've TRIED to shop "in person"... there is nothing "local". But even in the "city" I've made the loop and found a poor selection of PRS ( high end guitars in general)... I'm not talking small shops either...My loop is GC Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, West LA, West LA Music(before they closed), McCabe's and Sam Ash Hollywood and any other shops on Sunset...

Now for PRS, I just do an "online tour" of the shops in the banner over on Vintage Rocker.... 10 times the selection and I've have great experiences buying online.

I have one dealer who I support, even though they're not my most local, because they've always had a good range, good deals and I've shopped there for several years. I've been happy to drive the extra hour or so to go there in person, and I have a great relationship with them.

I think once you have established that kind of relationship you're unlikely to change your habits unless someone else really goes the extra mile.

I get all my gear from one shop. They carry PRS and a Bogner so I don't have to go anywhere else. I like that. They aren't local by any means but I feel more akin to their shop than the local shops that stock PRS heavily. Better customer service and they are fun to deal with instead of being stuffy.
